The Giant Defy is for going longer. It’s for climbing higher, riding faster, and doing it all with confidence and smooth control.

Ditch the tyres and you have a fast, sweet-handling endurance machine that doesn't panic at speed
Great ride quality from the frameset
Decent tyre clearance
Geometry gives smooth handling
Tyres feel a little 'wooden'
Not the greatest value spec-wise
Jul 2020 · James Bracey
Giant's Defy moves into more versatile territory with an updated frame and bigger tyre volume
Value
Comfort
Versatility
Cable routing
Saddle
Mar 2020 · Peter Stuart
Giant’s latest Defy is future-proof, versatile, fast and far less expensive than equivalently specced alternatives
Fast
32mm tyres
Predictable handling
Well priced
Slightly heavy
Fiddly seatpost bolt

Our best comfort road Bike of the Year 2019 is a plush riding and power meter equipped sportive machine
Lays on plenty of smoothness without compromising speed, great value too
Saddle is just okay, and needs a 160mm rotor on the front of bigger bikes
Jul 2018 · Dan Walker
Giant Defy, the endurance bike by the Taiwan-based company, can take you to challenging roads, comfortably
